Big Data Analytics and Artificial Intelligence in Electronics

Dear Colleagues,

In big data, the enormous amount of data generated by each industry is typical of ultra-high dimensions, necessitating innovative solutions to discover the required patterns. Big data analysis and intelligent computing solutions are increasingly being used to reduce the complexity and cognitive burden of processing such large amounts of data. Big data analytics is also the focus of data science, meaning that big data is expanding rapidly in every field, such as industry, engineering, healthcare, and so on. The application of advanced analytic techniques to very large, diverse big data sets, which include structured, semi-structured, and unstructured data from various sources and sizes ranging from terabytes to zettabytes, is known as big data analytics. Big data analytics is also critical for modeling and forecasting future outcomes, improving business intelligence, and ultimately fueling faster and better decisions. Big data analytics play an important role in many organizations, such as dealing with massive amounts of data containing critical information, such as cybersecurity, fraud detection, health informatics, intelligence reports for any organization, marketing records, and so on. Optimization, deep learning, machine learning, convolutional neural network (CNN), artificial neural networks (ANN), natural language processing (NLP), support vector machine (SVM), transfer and active learning, data mining, distributed learning, and other AI-based methods can be used for big data analysis.

Furthermore, the integration of big data, the Internet of Things (IoT), and AI has paved the way for a plethora of novel real-world applications. These converged technologies encompass not only information and communication technology, but also various industries such as business, smart farming, industrial automation, and healthcare, to name a few. IoT connects the physical world to the internet and generates massive amounts of big data that must be refined using machine learning and deep learning to extract valuable features. There are also numerous challenges associated with underutilizing the big data generated by IoT devices in terms of machine learning, deep learning, and AI. To address these challenges, it is argued that AI is required for big data analytics.

This Special Issue will concentrate on the most recent advancements in the application of big data analytics and artificial intelligence in electronics. This Special Issue aims to bring together the most recent developments in the aforementioned areas within this framework.
